A year ago if someone mentioned Jewish people or Israel I would immediately associate it with the atrocities of the holocaust. Now when I hear the name “Israel” I associate it with the atrocities it has committed against the Palestinians. What a difference a year makes.

*“The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.”* *- Norman Finkelstein*

More than 100 journalists martyred. If they did not sacrifice themselves, we would not know what we know and even ICJ case would have gone Israel's way!

The more I look at this the more I come to the conclusion that Zionism is the same as Nazism and colonialism is all the same as Nazism. Sad as it might be there is little difference.

Justice for Palestine

I watched Lex Friedman's interview of Mohammed El-Kurd right around the time of October 7th. That one interview made me see Palestinians and the horror of their lives for the first time. His clear, simple and concise speech of his home, his life, and that of others in Palestine...speaking truthfully and softly yet not dulling the words he uses...he changed my way of seeing things and led me to do more research. I know I'm not the only one he reached.

Standing with Palestine today means standing with humanity and justice, South Africa is the first nation to understand this reality and hopefully the rest will follow as soon as possible before it's too late...

How is it that the world united against South Africa during the apartheid era but refuse to unite against Israel for apartheid! What a lot of hypocrites.

Mohammed el-Kurd is absolutely brilliant. Making Palestinians “perfect,” docile victims is a pernicious form of dehumanization. Palestinians are absolutely justified in their anger and desire for retribution.

Mohammed Al Kurd is so clear and concise in his perspective. I can see deep frustration and sorrow in his eyes...

Recognising the humanity of the Palestinians is the first step.. Sadly a step many haven't yet taken

*Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco must unite with South Africa.*

Thank you south Africa. Thank you Palestinian people for your sacrifice

Peace and justice for Palestine 🙏. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW 🇵🇸♥️

This man is so well informed and articulate that no one can dispute his observations. They Western hypocrisy is overwhelming.

All countries voted Tuesday whether to affirm the right of the Palestinians to have self-determination. 173 voted YES. Only 4 countries voted NO: Israel US Nauru Micronesia Biden's willingness to completely isolate the US from the world for this foreign country is limitless. The hold that Israel/AIPAC has on US politicians is INSANE! Legitmately hard to get my head around it.

I Stand With Gaza Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 London UK

Endless respect for Mohammad El Kurd who speaks with such eloquence and integrity. Long live Palestine. The only people on earth right now driving the humanity from our within the darkest of beings. CEASEFIRE. LIBERATION. END THE OCCUPATION. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Thank you Muhammad el-Kurd!

Warsaw uprising from German occupation 1944. Palestinian uprising from Israel occupation 2023,2024

I am ashamed of myself... I wished I was having enough power to make a big difference 😢

What people don’t realize is that if it’s not Palestine it’s someone else. They will not stop until they have the world to themselves.

Imagery of Palestinians struggling to get hands on flour or even fodder eerily reminiscent of how Nazis tried to turn Jews into desperate animals

❤Was surprised to learn that the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem have been under occupation for 55+ years 😵, according to the international law and UN resolutions (1967-2023). I've come to believe that justice needs power to enforce it❤⚖

The verdict delivered by the International Court of Justice was PERFECT. Why? The verdict exposes Israel as a genocidal occupying power. Israel is experiencing an economic armageddon. ISRAEL needs foreign assistance to survive.

World leaders may not be serious about the Palestinians, but the People of the world surely are.

it means if they don't stop they will be found guilty , along with the u.s.

Israel will try to forget the genocide committed but the whole world will remember this for centuries to come. Israel has lost all the sympathy towards them.

rarely does one hear a journalist speak with such amazing clarity! thank you

Thank you Qatar for aljazeera ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing, thanks for spreading the truth. It is in ever shorter supply.

India’s drift away from secular democracy and towards ethno nationalism will bring about a political and social instability that will stunt its growth. Modhi is capitalizing on religious fanaticism to rid the country and its constitution of a pluralistic democracy.

In our millions in our billions we stand with Palestine Gaza PALESTINENS until PALESTINENS Palestine Gaza is liberated

People.I experienced Apartheid in South Africa as an Anti-Apartheid Activist.Palestinians experience of Israel Apartheid is worse. Why is the World so silent? This experience I am not wishing for anybody. It is like it will never end. Fortunately for us we could see a Light in the Tunnel to give us Hope during the dark days.

I can't get over how similar the fight of the Palestinians is to the South African fight against apartheid and the American fight against slavery and Jim Crow laws. A big advantage we have is social media and how young people no longer watch traditional media that keep misrepresenting the situation. A free and self determined Palestinian state is now much closer.

It's complicity, and they have all that blood on their hands.

The people and government of South Africa did everything that could be done legally. Unfortunately, two judges one from Uganda and one from Israel rejected most of the requests made by the South African Group for the Prevention of Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide. Indeed, I expected tougher measures against the Israeli apartheid regime. It should also be noted that during the trial, Benjamin Netanyahu's regime continued to bomb and kill people in the Gaza Strip on a daily basis. The West Bank, especially in Jenin, was not left out either.

Mr. El-Kurd provides an astute critical discussion and warning regarding Zionism. I would add that Israeli Zionism has occurred as a result of a group of people who traded their Jewish faith for idol worship of a political state. Tragically, this idol worship has robed followers of their morality and connection to their fellow humans. Coupled with arrogance and the belief that you are the chosen, this false worship has engendered invincibility and fuelled racism. The narrative of “a right to self defence” “at all costs”, is not only legally incorrect and incoherent/logically flawed, it is morally reprehensible and lethal. Complicity takes many forms. We all have a responsibility to recognize and fight against flawed ideologies, racism, and lethal political systems that threaten and destroy our fellow humans.

What’s happening in India is scary

Hi Mohammed. Well said!!! I was the South African EAPPI peace monitor in October 2009 when your house in Sheikh Jarrah was invaded by Israeli thugs. You were an amazing young boy even then. You really tell the story of Zionist apartheid as crimes against humanity and genocide. As a South African who has witnessed the Israeli barbarities, I'm proud that we have at last taken the case to the ICJ.

Thats just a preliminary ruling, but the case now begins , that ruling means just ICJ has the authority to judge the case against Israel.

At 14:05, how true! This guy is way smarter and more articulate than anyone I have watched addressing this issue

Now and always I'm at the side of palastinians ❤

this journalism is beyond perfect. bravo for highlighting all these issues in a poignant manner

Mohammed el-Kurd, what a lucid and articulate voice!

What intelligent words coming out of Kurd's mouth. How clear and articulate..

everyone needs to hear Muhamed, very well put! and sorry you are going through this!

India has given rise to it's Ingorance!!

The ICJ ruling doesn’t mean much for Israel, which was was entirely predictable. The call to prevent indiscriminate killings of a group of people is nothing new, as it is already enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions and the Genocide Convention. The current ICJ’s provisional measures regarding the genocide of Palestinians are couched in such loose and generic terms that they lend themselves to interpretation one way or the other. The court's failure to define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within its historical context (occupation), and conflating the Hamas hostage situation with the human rights violations by the IDF, ensures that the court's advices will be dead in the water and easily rebuked. The ICJ's politely asks Israel to "refrain from acts under the Genocide Convention," without implying that it was doing anything criminal up to that point. Quite stupidly, and inappropriately, it inserts an order for Hamas to release the hostages (some of whom are IDF personnel), as if to allow the defendant to use Hamas as its pretext to defy the orders, which is exactly what Israel and Western media pundits have done and will continue to do. Hence, the court's rulings constitute a sort of poison pill that can be used by both sides to claim victory, whilst nothing gets done to stop the situation on the ground.

Rich Arabia should shameful not standing up quickly , but good South Africa did it first.

Mohammad el Kurd is spot on. This is a rest for human kind.

Thank you South Africa & all the countries that backed and signed their convention to the ICJ ❤ Malaysia,Jordan,The Arab League 22 countries,The Maldives,Pakistan,Namibia,Colombia,Brazil,Turkey ,Bolivia , 57 member States of the OIC .

Justice will come one day

no legal and practical impact of ICJ verdict sadly.We must promote boycot israel movement worldwide.

Pride comes before a fall, take note Israel.

I love this journalist everything he says is ❤❤❤ fact

A truly dignified people,a truly credible people ,a people displaying great fortitude in the face of oppression for decades on ,whilst holding steadfast onto their faith❤the noble Palestinians,the heroes,the examples to look upto in today's world.God hold's you in high esteem ,be assured of that and He will have an answer for "Everyone"...the innocent and the ones with a god complex.May the most high protect you and bless you with the wisdom to see beyond this material world and value the spiritial world more ,may He strengthen you ,give you patience and you are victorious Palestine❤You are far more stronger than those opposing you ,you have not much comparatively yet you have everything and they have everything ,yet nothing.They are devoid of spirituality ,morality ,nobility,humanity...they've got NOTHING.They are bankrupt ,spiritually they have been forever but very soon they will be bankrupt financially too God willing.Keep the faith ,this world is nothing but a delusion quotes the most high and He quotes nothing but the truth.

THOSE WHO HATE NEVER LIVE AS THOSE WHO LOVE NEVER DIE.

Absolutely beautiful explanation and commentary given by Writer and Journalist Mohammed El-Kudd. All of his words are very compelling, honest and truthful. Whatever he was saying about the western media and condemning powerful superpower countries are agreeable to 65% to 75% peoples around the world. I will pray to our almighty God to give him good health, safety, Long Live and peace to his soul. Thanks to Al Jazeera for broadcasting this historic interview. ❤❤❤

Thanks Mohamed el Kurd….well articulated and on point.

We should express our sincere opinion against wrongdoings . I want that confidence . These videos give my heart peace. I really loved the decision made by ICJ 😊.

Beautiful man. Palestinian journalist

How can someone who veneres gods of peace and love become a violent and biased person?

Mr El-Kurd...👌 Thank you !!!!!

Wow 😮 this guy is really expressing the TRUTH clearly ❤. I first became aware of the israeli evil when your beautiful journalist Shereen Alahalay was assassinated. That was the beginning of all this in my view. Al Jazeera I thank Allah for you and your brave journalists. May the Martyrs rest in peace and may Allah right this henious wrong! FREE PALESTINE 😭💔🇯🇴

The U.N. needs to vote on a multinational military intervention to save the people in Gaza like they did in Korea.

Freedom to Palestine 🇵🇸

It's my favourite program and I have trust in it.

South Africa did ask for a ceasefire.

The Western media won't report on this - both key stories.

M El Kurd you painted the TRUTH... Respect to you.

It is half justice, half Humanity Well done South Africa

All asking the western media same questions about 7 of October but never asked what was happened in Palestine before 7th of October

I think every journalist in the world wants to be like a Palestinian journalist but their cowardice gets the better of them. So sad. Mohammed is a very articulate and passionate young man.

Mohammed el-Kurt is indeed the voice that is so needed!!! How can we help him directly to report the truth on university campuses in the US and in Europe? Can a fund be started to publish a “UNI-NEWS”- in different languages and promoted on campuses ? I am willing to start ! Anybody else out there interested in helping Mohammed el-Kurt and humanity???

The world, at least those with compassion, are against institutionalized violence!

Love this

I think that if you look at the positive side of what is happening to palestinians they should be so traumatized by israel's genocidal occupation that if they had the problems we have they would not be deranged a bit...

Incredible interview! This man speaks raw truth, anyone denying his words are complicate in Gaza.

The litany of crimes and atrocities committed by Western powers, particularly the United States, unveils a stark and unsettling reality that challenges the very essence of the label "civilized society." The repeated transgressions, spanning from colonial brutality to modern interventions, strip away the veneer of moral superiority. The United States, stands tainted by a legacy of genocide, slavery, and aggressive foreign policies. The invasion of Iraq on false pretenses, the destabilization of Libya and Syria, and unwavering support for Israel amid allegations of genocide in Palestine showcase a flagrant disregard for international norms and human rights. The claim to moral authority crumbles when faced with the undeniable evidence of a nation that has repeatedly violated the principles it professes to champion. The U.S.'s continued presence in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and its control over the global financial system through dollar hegemony are relics of a bygone era that demand reevaluation. In the quest for global justice and accountability, the international community must question the legitimacy of a nation that has lost its moral compass. Removing the United States from the UNSC and dismantling the dollar hegemony would be a crucial step toward recalibrating power dynamics in a way that reflects the diversity and aspirations of the global community. It is time to challenge the notion of exceptionalism and demand accountability for the actions that have left scars on the collective human experience. The world must assert its commitment to a more equitable and just future, where nations are held accountable for their deeds, and power is distributed in a manner that ensures the voice of every nation is heard, not just those who have historically dominated the stage.

This is very true thank you so much

Israel is on parole they have to return to the court in a month time to see if they abiding with the rules the court then it will be taken further no getting away

Thanks for the info, and keep up the great work

The Israelis desire for the rebuilding of their temple mirrors what has happened in India. Interesting...I wonder if al-Aqsa mosque will survive, or if Israel will follow in Indian footsteps

Fee Palestine,end apartheid

"What does the ICJ ruling mean for Israel?" - NOTHING!

Bravo to Aljazeera, Richard Gizbert and your guest who is presenting the RAW TRUTH

They really believe to be some sacred special nation on this planet, which makes sense to understand why this entity will not survive the test of time in its current form

The ICJ ruling falls short on declaring a Humanitarian Ceasefire after nearly FOUR months of horrific, relentless, indiscriminate 'AI' bombings of lives and livelihoods in Gaza. By contrast, it took the ICJ less than one month to order the Russian Federation to suspend military operations in Ukraine upon invasion. Judgement day, this ruling certainly isn't. ICJ's wishy-washy measures might pass the Security Council, but will sadly & surely fuel more IDF atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza & the Westbank.

If that's the strongest from the ICJ in condemning Israel then I have lost confidence them. Do they see what the rest of us see? . What a shame and hypocrisy.

There’s only going to be ONE Judgement day, It’s going to be “ HARSH “ and unforgiving ! For some, It will come like a thief in the night ! Unannounced and without REMORSE !

The ICJ can’t ask for a size fire 🔥 because Hamas is not a state, even I know that , a size fire 🔥 involves two countries only , even I know that and I only drive pass university’s !!!

Right of self Defense is not a license to kill innocent civilians, children and women.

I call out to all the follower of God to stand as one to stop the evil satan has filled the world with! We must stand together! The time is now!

excellent reporting

Excellent reporting

Thats real for u

This guy looks like the good version of eylon levy 😅

mohemmed al kurd wow ... what a wonderful, humane, elevated way with words

(Since I don’t like Netanyahu’s arrogance and irrational police…) - Nights in a tent below 10 degrees Celsius, on an empty stomach… that should also be discussed.
